The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 152 The Old Taoist's Journey of Drawing Talismans

Within the Qingxuan Sect, at the Spirit Field.

The old Taoist priest walked along the ridges of the fields, his figure gleaming in the sunlight as he swept across the open fields.

His eyes were shining, as if he was searching for something intently.

Finally, a player with the ID "Green Hills Remain" appeared in front of him, and he was the person he was looking for.

Qingshan still looked at the old Taoist priest by the river, his expression not very polite.

This guy had a bad reputation on the forum before; he was always arguing with people and had been banned from speaking several times.

If it weren't for the sake of the Sword Immortal, Qingshan would never have bothered with him.

However, as an old Taoist priest who has lived for so long, Linjiang Laodao's skin is naturally ridiculously thick.

The green hills remain unchanged, and a mere pale-faced man is far from enough to scare him away.

And so, the old Taoist priest from Linjiang approached, looking at Qingshan with a smile, and said, "Brother Qingshan, I came here today to learn the art of talismans from you."

Qingshan nodded again, without deliberately making things difficult for the old Taoist, and led him directly to his talisman platform.

Over the past few days, he has learned a lot about talisman drawing methods from Bai Ling, the talisman master steward, and talisman drawing is inherently simple.

Now that I'm a teacher, it's not a big problem for me to impart a few simple lessons.

"Alright, let's get ready to begin." Aoyama still pointed to the altar where the talismans were drawn, his expression remaining calm.

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest from Linjiang was overjoyed and readily nodded in agreement.

How can a Taoist priest not even know the most basic art of drawing talismans?

Moreover, the talismans he needs to draw on this trip are quite simple, only two talismans. Once he learns these two talismans, he will be able to officially graduate from his apprenticeship.

Qingshan reached out and took out a piece of yellow paper, placing it on the altar. He then took out a wolf-hair brush and dipped it into the cinnabar beside the altar.

Then, with a relaxed expression, he began to draw on the yellow paper with a wolf-hair brush. His brushstrokes were fluid and graceful, appearing effortless and unrestrained.

As the incense stick beside the altar slowly burned out, a glowing talisman emerged and appeared before the old Taoist priest by the river.

Qingshan picked up the talisman paper again, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "I was lucky this time. I actually managed to draw this lightning strike talisman on my first try."

That's right, the lightning strike talisman is the first talisman that the old Taoist priest from Linjiang is going to learn.

Although his peach wood sword could also summon thunder, it's always good to have an extra means, especially since both the peach wood sword and the thunder talisman are thunder-based techniques.

He might even find a way to combine the two and summon an even more terrifying lightning strike.

According to ancient records, their ancestors did the same thing: by attaching talismans to peach wood swords, they could summon terrifying lightning magic.

Qingshan glanced at the old Taoist priest from Linjiang, who was still lost in thought, and casually reminded him, "Old Taoist, why don't you look over here first? I'll demonstrate the power of this lightning strike talisman to you."

Upon hearing that he was about to demonstrate his power, the old Taoist priest from Linjiang immediately turned around and looked at the still green mountains.

He held the talisman between two fingers and aimed it at the tree trunk in front of him.

The spiritual energy slowly flowed into the talisman, activating all the cinnabar patterns on it.

next moment!

The talisman emitted a faint golden light, and Qingshan pointed his finger, causing a bolt of lightning to descend from the sky, scorching the tree trunk in front of them.

"This is a lightning strike talisman." Qingshan continued to scatter the ashes from the burnt talisman on the ground. "It is extremely powerful, belonging to the most terrifying type of first-tier talisman, and its attack range is also quite good."

Upon seeing this, the old Taoist priest from Linjiang nodded excitedly, his eyes filled with undisguised joy.

If he could master such a powerful talisman, it wouldn't need to be called a lightning strike talisman anymore; it could be renamed the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Talisman. That would be so much more imposing!

Qingshan still didn't know what the old Taoist Linjiang was thinking, and continued to explain to himself: "However, the drawbacks of this talisman are also obvious. First of all, it is difficult to refine. Even now, my success rate can only barely reach about 5%."

"In addition, although talismans are very powerful, the lightning strikes are delayed, making them easy for enemies to dodge. They need to be used in conjunction with certain control techniques."

As he said this, Qingshan still took out another piece of yellow paper.

The old Taoist priest from Linjiang knew that this was the second talisman the other party needed to demonstrate.

A forbidden charm with control effects.

This talisman can create a spiritual shield around the enemy, preventing them from escaping and leaving only a gap at the top.

For the vast majority of cultivators in the Qi Refining stage who cannot fly on swords, this talisman can definitely be considered a very strategically significant talisman.

Unfortunately, the talisman was surrounded by spiritual shields, so if you tried to break it head-on, the opponent would take the opportunity to escape.

However, if you combine it with a lightning strike talisman, it will be just enough.

This is also an essential item for cultivators in the cultivation world who have some wealth and connections when they travel around.

This allows them to protect themselves and even achieve unexpected results at crucial moments.

Qingshan first demonstrated the entire process of drawing talismans to the old Taoist priest from Linjiang, and then personally showed the effects of the talismans.

In the end, Qingshan still took out two talismans that had been refined beforehand, and led the old Taoist from Linjiang to the spirit field, where he randomly picked up a mountain rat that was running around.

Qingshan immediately activated the binding talisman, and the spirit rat was suddenly bound by a spirit shield, unable to move or escape.

Immediately afterwards, Qingshan picked up the lightning strike talisman and poured all his spiritual power into it.

Suddenly, thunder roared, and a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, scorching the mountain rat until it was charred black and raw.

Seeing this terrifying scene, the old Taoist priest from Linjiang couldn't help but secretly admire the powerful force of the lightning strike talisman.

Furthermore, with the two talismans complementing each other, he will have even more support when he goes out in the future.

"Come on, I'll teach you the basic techniques for drawing talismans." Qingshan picked up the mountain rat again.

The corpses of the monsters shouldn't be wasted, especially since the lightning strike was so perfect that even the mountain rat smelled deliciously of meat.

With a little processing, it can be a delicious meal again.

After that, the old Taoist priest from Linjiang and Qingshan Yijiu returned to each other's residence.

During this period, he needed to learn the drawing methods of these two types of talismans from Qingshan Yijiu, as well as the basics of the talisman art.

He firmly believed that he would eventually master the art and bring a small Taoist shock to those demons and monsters.

After all, according to the game's background promotion, the entire cultivation world is not only inhabited by those mountain monsters, but also by many evil spirits and demons.

Leveling up by fighting monsters—who says monsters have to be those monstrous beasts?

The narrow bridge you walk on may not be easy, but the sunny road that everyone else walks on is definitely crowded.

He, the old Taoist priest by the river, decided to find a different path and specifically seek out those demons and evil spirits to kill monsters and level up.
